A preliminary hearing will be heard on September 3, but Mr Bradley said a full hearing would not be heard for at least nine months to allow the Air Accidents Branch complete its investigation.

Hampshire Police confirmed on Saturday the three passengers were members of the large and wealth bin Laden family who were visiting the UK on holiday from Saudi Arabia where they own a major construction company.

The Saudi ambassador to the UK said: "His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Nawaf Al Saud has paid his condolences to the family and relatives of Mohammed bin Laden at Blackbushe Airport in Britain for the great loss they have suffered as a result of the crash of the plane that was carrying the family."

The embassy said it would work with the British authorities to ensure the bodies were quickly repatriated for burial.

Bin Laden, who claimed responsibility for the September 11 attacks in the United States in 2001, is believed to have had more than 50 brothers and sisters and many stepmothers.

His billionaire father Mohammed founded a sprawling construction conglomerate awarded many major building contracts in the Sunni kingdom.

He died in a plane crash in Saudi Arabia in 1967 on the way to wed his 23rd wife.

The Bin Laden family disowned Osama in 1994 when Saudi Arabia stripped him of his citizenship because of his militant activities.

The al-Qaeda leader was killed by US special forces in Pakistan in 2011.

A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We are in contact with the Saudi Arabian authorities following the air crash in Hampshire on July 31, including to offer advice on repatriation."
